Prescription Generator (Next.js)

A simple, local-first prescription generator app built with Next.js. Manage lists of medicines, tests/exams, and chief complaints; create a prescription with patient details and dosages; preview and print to PDF with clean print styles.

Features

• Local lists: medicines, exams, chief complaints (editable in Settings)
• Manual dosage entry per medicine (e.g., "3 ml", "1 tablet", "1 spray", "4 puffs")
• Patient details: name, age, weight, sex
• Add recommended tests/exams and chief complaints to each prescription
• Preview page with print-ready layout and one-click Print (use browser “Save as PDF”)
• All data stored in localStorage (no backend required)

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies
   • Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed
   • Run: npm install
2. Start the dev server
   • npm run dev
3. Open the app
   • Visit http://localhost:3000

Usage

• Go to Settings to customize the lists of Medicines, Exams, and Complaints.
• Use the Prescription page to:
  • Enter patient details
  • Select complaints and exams (and add new ones inline if needed)
  • Add medicines; pick from your list or type a new one; enter dosage and optional instructions
  • Click Preview & Print to open the printable view, then click Print and choose "Save as PDF".

Notes

• The app is local-first: your lists and the last built prescription are saved in the browser’s localStorage.
• The printable view uses browser printing; no external PDF library is required.
• You can change the header (doctor/clinic info) in components/PrintablePrescription.tsx as desired.
